Fun Facts!
- Everyone got suspisicious of one another of having aliens in their heads.
- Alien was muttering some really not-so-nice words during his machine malfunction, therefore none of the alien subtitles were translated to English. (This may or may not be true)
- We made the Alien dance to Korean singer Psy's hit song, "Gangnam Style", as seen in the VFX Breakdown.
